No alien voices

wickedjr89 · March 2015

The aliens in CAS don't have a voice but the humans do. Even with no mods so it isn't a mod issue. The aliens will mouth and act like they are talking but no sound comes out. Is anyone else having this issue?

ceejay402 · March 2015

Just...drag my entire Sims 4 folder to my desktop?

ceejay402 · March 2015

yep

the game will generate fresh files test the game if you have voices then you know its something in your game files

if it works you can add back old but test for corruption http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/resetting-the-game-to-factory-settings-without-reinstalling/

Taking out the entire mods folder didn't fix it

dragging the entire Sims 4 folder to the desktop...did
well this is going to be a hassle, thank you for the help have to figure out the cause now

My Aliens have voices. Beautiful voices at that.

wickedjr89 · March 2015

Well this is odd
I deleted the options file, put in my old one...the aliens voices vanished again
the options is the problem?

Edit: Granted I can reset them to what they were no issue
more testing to be done

well you could just keep playing the test game and then add stuff later but glad it wasnt a game bug, good luck!

Ok I got entirely new fresh files
reset the options to what I had before
voices vanished again
it's an option
I have to figure out which one now

wickedjr89 · March 2015

I AM HAPPY
I just deleted the fresh files
put my old stuff back in but deleted the options file so the options reset
and it is JUST an option!
I still have to figure out which option by messing around with the options but that means I shouldn't lose anything! It's not a save or anything like that!

interesting! can you post update when you get a chance to figure it out what option was turning off voices

wickedjr89 · March 2015

I will! I'm still working on it one option at a time! I'll let you know when I figure out the offending option.

wickedjr89 · March 2015

I FOUND IT!
It's when I set the option to headphones where it defaults to stereo. I do that because I wear well headphones but it doesn't matter, it's all good!

Cassandra52182 · March 2015

I had the headphones as my audio option and as soon as I switched to stereo my alien voices came back as well...now that's an interesting little bug there XD

wickedjr89 · March 2015

It is, i'm just glad it was that simple! I was afraid I might have to lose stuff, didn't lose a thing

Interesting bug none the less xD

I can confirm wickedjr89's find. I am usually set to headphones as I likewise use headphones. And sure enough, headphones set - no alien voices. set back to stereo and VIOLA alien voices.

I'm still thinking its an audio bug, but with such an easy workaround with extremely minimal impact (only slight difference in audio this way) I dont expect it will get fixed.

That said, I have two audio drivers installed an NVIDA virtual WDM driver and a RealTek driver.

Wicked - what are you running?

wickedjr89 · April 2015

I...don't know. I know my graphics card drivers are up to date and is Nvidia 660 Ti

DaniiPantiies · April 2015

thanks so much! My alien has no voices and I was worried!

Linnyxx17 · April 2015

Thank you so much! i hoping it wasn't my CC clothing. since the icons for all my content show the alien suits and i can't see what i'm choosing. Worked right away switching to stereo.

wickedjr89 · April 2015

Yeah first thing I did was try to make an alien and noticed it, and got worried something was really wrong. Wish I'd have tried the solution sooner lol but glad that's all there was to it
